“Maybe mediocrity within intelligence agencies is a feature, an actual goal towards which the bureacracy in Washington works, despite its public aspirations to excellence. The intelligence bureaucry is probably far more responsive to political currents in Washington than it is to operational necessity. A workforce that “looks like America”; an analytic shop that says nothing that is politically incorrect or unacceptable; an operational side that must on no account be seen to conduct wiretapping, abduction, assassination, thievery or deception.
These are the requirements of a bureaucratically perfect intelligence apparatus. One that can be viewed with approval by lawyers; proof against Senate committee investigations; unstained by any suggestion of cutting procedural corners. And probably also useless at detecting al-Qaeda.”
